A mum has spoken of how she was left heartbroken after her 'kind' son was killed with one punch in a fatal assault. Becky White, 43, says a part of her 'has died' following the loss of her child.
Dean Skillin was just 20 when he died after being punched on a night out in Bangor, Wales back in 2020. The assailant, Brandon Sillence, was described in court as "aggressive and confrontational" and ready to punch his "own shadow".
Dean, 20, and his cousin were making the most of the lifting of lockdown restrictions and had been out for some drinks. Wales Online reports that they were attacked by Sillence outside The Waverley Hotel on September 19, 2020.
